I want to see how others set up their game area.Do you organize or do you just put the newest shit front and center?Do you have dedicated stations or put everything in a box?I want to learn, and possibly improve my setup.
>>11105708>>11105812Never understood why people waste so much space with cases. Just get a fucking giant sleeve binder and you can fit 50x as much games in the same space. You play games, not boxes.
>>11105708>>11105807>>11105810>>11105812Yall know a woman isn't going to have sex with you when your room looks like that right?

>>11105812I'll never ever understand people who get PVMs over consumer CRTs when that is how close you gotta sit to them
Really can't wait wait to have more space, part of me wants to put the time and money into refinishing the basement of my current house and move the game room down there. Going to be moving in less then 5 years so it be a big waste and probably will barely break even with the added value when we go to sell.
>>11105708Mine is only slightly larger than this. I keep the rest of mine in storage or in bins somewhere elsePeople that collect every game on the planet and keep it all in on area are trying too hard to show off. There's no way you're playing ALL of those
this is actually pretty clean for me. usually the spaghetti cords are much worse but i put most stuff in my closet and am just playing the ps1/n64 right now.

>>11105708I don't know how to organize it but this my married millennial pile. Lots of doubles we both owned and lots more in boxes. Years ago I bought really cheap cartridge cases for the 64, I would like to do it for all my cartridges but people want like four or five bucks a case which is ridiculous. This is 90 percent used just for Mario party. We casually played a fake earthbound for 20 hours until the save gave out.

>>11106547Bought an amish made A-frame shed and wired and insulated it. I do like it.>>11106686I really like the legends pinball one. Bought the optional arcade stick/trackball and you can just throw a usb loaded with arcade games on it. Can even hook it up to a pc for pinball FX tables.

>>11105708All this shit is too expensive and inconvenient. I just emulate.
>>1110724514L5, supports resouutions up to 1080i.
>>11105961Not always because of image quality, PVMs have a very convenient form factor for moving them or stacking stuff on top of them and multiple inputs so you don't always need a matrix switcher.Plus some convenient functions such as H/V delay (to see how stable the sync is), blue only (to set up chroma/phase on comp/svideo) etc.
>>11107675Yeah it's pretty much impossible to find curved consumer CRTs with component. they are also a very compact form factor and perfect for tate usage

>>11108869Great middle school setupTerrifying adult setup
I wan't to get a piece of furniture like a media center that I can set 8 consoles + VHS player + an AVI switcher. Does anyone have any recommendations/ideas. I was thinking of making one but I don't know nice it will come out compared to just buying one. Does anyone have any recommendations for AVI switchers? Most of the ones I see online cause issues apparently. Pic related is not mine but it did give me an idea to just use shelf next to the T.V. Thoughts?
>>11109114I use something like this for my consoles, each shelf has a monitor stand on it which fits a console under it and a console ontop of it (or in some cases two consoles like my dreamcast and snes are next to each other.) Unfortunately it looks like the monitor stand I got is no longer in stock at Amazon, but the 5-tier storage towers are. I wanted to make sure I got one with a big enough footprint for an original xbox which also meant it could hold the storage shelves so each shelf section is sub-divided to fit more on it.As for AV switchers, the cheap amazon 8-in-1-out switchers are what I use. It's a rigged up situation where I use two of them for the same input because I use component video. One switcher is the video signal (Y/Pb/Pr) and the other is audio (L/R) so if I want to play Dreamcast I press 6 on one and 6 on the other so it switches to it.
>>11109159Interesting. I also have an original Xbox I wan't to use in my set up and I just realized what a big bastard it is compared to everything else.
>>11109207Exactly why I had to make sure one fit. To me it is too essential of a console to lose.
>>11108869imagine the smell
>>11109153fellow vhsfag, love your setup anon. did you make your own customers or buy them?
I see we all keep posting the same old images and none of us have done any upgrades in months. Me I just got a Playstation Memcard Pro 2 and a Dreamcast VM2 but obviously no need for a new pic for those. Still waiting on a new FPGA thing to come out. Still unable to find a better CRT TV or a decent VCR.
>>11107635Nice simple and clean setup here. That little TV reminds me of the one I had back in middle school, except mine was a VCR combo. Its neat how even with a small TV like that, you can still get lost in a good game. What have you been playing lately?
>>11109235Something like this is what I'd like. Clean, comfy, well positioned, dedicated speakers, and still has room for the gaps that FPGA can't do.
>>11110129>no CRTRuined.
>>11109843try neighborhood-wide garage sales for VCRs. I saw many this year. Of course like anything YMMV.
>>11110420I'm not American. Garage sales don't exist here.

>>11110796I fucking love Miku so much it hurts bros... I can't wait until I can wife an android WOMEN to plap all day and night.
I don't have my game stuff permanently set up because of lack of space. I have a small breakfast-in-bed type table which I put next to my bed, and then put a monitor or projector on top of that, then set up the console on the bed, and sit in my desk chair with my feet on the bed.
>>11110882Pictures?
>>11110890I might post a couple tomorrow if the thread is still up

I've never understood that design aesthetic where you just tape or nail nerd shit directly to your wall why not set up some shelves instead and use the wall space for a big nicely framed piece of art or at least stretched canvas

>>11111029That TV is neat
Damn bro I really want to play Saturn games, but I refuse to emulate, but I also don't really have any more space on my station, because the last spot is reserved for a VCR. Waiting for the cheaper FPGA clones, but Saturn isn't flawless on those. Then you allegedly have the Mars and Replay2 FPGA offerings that are gonna be more powerful, but who the fuck knows when these are releasing, and even if they're super duper powerful, you still need 10 years for some Dexter looking nerd to write the code properly. I'm seeing a lot of you guys having Saturns. It's pretty expensive to get a clean one and the necessary mods for it, right? What's the best mod for it anyways? Obviously I'm not gonna be buying games.
Are those IKEA kallax cube shelves any good? I'm half-tempted to get some to turn into a desk.
>>11112761get a saroo & saturn motherboard from aliexpressits around $100
>>11105961sunk cost fallacy
>>11107679>Yeah it's pretty much impossible to find curved consumer CRTs with component.Are you joking? Every major brand made curved component sets in the early 2000s. Try a brand besides Sony. Toshiba, Philips, Panasonic, and JVC all made them and they aren't difficult to find. Get a 20-inch d-series if you want something small that has component video.

>>11112862Yes. They’re sturdy and well worth the money. They’re terrible for books or putting games and stuff on, though. There’s just too much wasted space in those instances. A desk would be good and I’ve seen other people do it.
>>11105708I rotate out consoles to get into the mood. Usually for a month or so but right now og Xbox is getting some love. Just got into hitman contracts which I haven't played in years. Looking forward to otogi and a few others. Will post my xboxs HDD list. As for setup. Right now I just got back from a fire evacuation so no setup just boxes a TV and the Xbox. .
>>11112862They're fine as bookshelves, but they're basically made out of plastic, sawdust, and glue. You need a more robust surface for a desk.

>>11116439Yeah I learned that last year after I got bought them all from good will. The image is cropped, dialogue is changed, and there is a tinny sound. I don't know how they are so popular. But it's nice background noise.It's a bad rabbit hole to go down because now I have 1+ terabyte drive of all db/dbz that has the original broadcast audio they found a couple years back.
